A Feast of Menus

Around the D wishes all a Happy Thanksgiving. This week we are sharing menus from Davidson’s dining past. They include Sophomore and Junior class banquets from the 1890s to the 1920s, Phi Beta Kappa and Davidsonian fetes, a themed meals at Vail Commons, a sesquicentennial celebration, and a White House dinner menu from 1967 signed by Dean Rusk and presented to DC president D. Grier Martin.

Whether your tastes run to the sophomores’ Pommes de terra parsley and Philadelphia cream cheese with crackers or the juniors’ Heavenly Hash a la Hotel Sloan or the Davidsonian’s Beef Tenderloin, larded, these menus have something for almost every taste.
